I've worked for farmers and I always got the cruddy jobs, like cleaning the parlor walls, forking off the rotten stuff off the bunks, cleaning rotten grain out from under the indoor grain silo after somebody had an accident and a bunch of grain got spilled and left for a few weeks and got full of bugs and STINK!!!!, then they'd ask me to clean it up. I worked this past summer for a family farm owned by 2 brothers and don't know as I want to work for another family farm. They gave me all the jobs nobody else wanted and when I got done those they sent me home. Jobs such as cleaning the chaff from the floor of the hay mow (super dusty and diry), grease equipment for someone else to use. Blaming me for everything that got broke on the place because I was the farms only employee and they didn't want to point the finger at family members. They didn't seem to appreciate what I could do, and would complain about what I couldn't and would they ever get mad when I made a mistake!. I'll never forget this summer when I was raking hay and one boss came down and spelled me for lunch, while I was gone he had an accident and managed to break the PTO shaft in two on the rake when he turned too sharp with the tractor and it made contact with 1 of the 3pt arms, he told his brother that I had done it and I didn't know how to drive a tractor. The truth was I had been using that rake for 2 days and hadn't done a thing to it, he had it for half an hour and broke it. Then there was the pickup truck, one brother owned a 3/4 ton pickup truck, the other brothers son had an accident with the truck and ended up destroying $4,000 worth of parts in the front end, the brother who son had done it had to go pull the pickup out of the cornfield where he had gone off the road and buried it, didn't tell his brother about it and led him to believe it was me who wrecked his truck. Nice to work for somebody isn't it?.
